There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Pro League table so far. Here's the Zulte-Waregem - Sint-Truiden latest:
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This pitch has grass, which is not Sint-Truiden's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Sint-Truiden have performed like this: Played 41 matches resulting in 11 wins, 13 draws and 17 defeats with the goal stats 48-68 (scored/conceded).
Zulte-Waregem form and stats
Zulte-Waregem have collected 16 points from their Pro League home games so far after 5-1-3.
In their previous game, the manager F. Dury led his Zulte-Waregem to a defeat in the Pro League match away at Gent. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Regenboogstadion. Previous to that game, a Belgian Cup home match hosting Sint-Truiden in a game that was won 3-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Zulte-Waregem have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Zulte-Waregem as they have a new game in only three days, a Belgian Cup match thankfully also at home. Sporting Charleroi are visiting.
The Zulte-Waregem fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 9 league matches. On the other hand, Zulte-Waregem have conceded 9 goals.
Sint-Truiden form and stats
The visitors are W4-D0-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Pro League.
Sint-Truiden failed to get anything from their last game, a Pro League home match vs Club Brugge (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Zulte-Waregem's place.
Sint-Truiden are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 3 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of nine matches.
Sint-Truiden find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. The Sint-Truiden manager N. Hayen has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Zulte-Waregem 6 wins, 3 draws and Sint-Truiden 1 victory.
